Ardal described the job as “demanding”: “I feel like you can get too much of a good thing, and I think this is the kind of show that traditionally has always changed the lead, because it is a very demanding job and you are away from home for huge periods of time.”
He also referred to Jack reaching the end of his development: “You know, something has to give, and also in terms of the character, I don’t think [there] was anywhere else for it to go, really.”
Death in Paradise continues on BBC One on Thursday at 9pm.
